Growth patterns in childhood and adolescence and adult body composition: a pooled analysis of birth cohort studies from five low and middle-income countries (COHORTS collaboration).

7 For example, a recent study of a British cohort showed that infant linear growth (ages 0–3 months) modestly improved prediction models of childhood adiposity, but the estimates were small and with a negative trend. 55 While, our findings showed that faster linear growth in infancy (0-24 months) has a weak but significant association with higher adult adiposity, a positive trend that contrasts with findings in children.
